Better Place Forests Promo

Better Place Forests Promo

We worked with Moniker designers to help shape the Better Place Forests brand. A disrupter in the burial business, the company needed a set of premium pieces to introduce its alternative cemetery—family memorial trees in a protected forest. With their budget and sustainable vision in mind, we used specialty recycled papers, luxurious five-color printing, spot varnish, foils, blind emboss, stitch-bindery and custom converted envelopes.

Eva Kolenko Promo

Eva Kolenko Promo

This project was all about keeping the design clean and unobtrusive and letting Eva’s juicy imagery speak for itself. The 38-page book for a promotional mailing was perfect bound and featured a selection of the client’s latest lifestyle and food photography. Also included, little personal glimpses to bring Eva to life—her favorite family recipe on a perforated recipe card and a poster insert illustrating behind-the-scenes adventures.

Ronbow Catalog

Ronbow Catalog

No corners were cut in creating this beautiful catalog set for Ronbow, a maker of affordable luxury bathroom furniture and fixtures. We matched the exceptional design and photography of our partner, Hatch Design, with SAVVY touches. Attention to detail, careful color correction and a well-executed print job all convey product quality. Ronbow agreed that the new catalog elevated their work and their image.

Riggs Book Box

Riggs Book Box

When SAVVY designed this branded leave behind for Riggs Distributing, a supplier of high-end kitchen appliances, we focused on making it a keeper. People have no problem tossing a magnet or calendar, but a hardcover book is another story.

So, we crafted a turned-edge rigid box with hinged lid to resemble a vintage book. The leatherette cover featured a fabric spine, foil and emboss and a litho printed interior. Inside, we put a stash of note paper printed with the Riggs logo. The client says the piece was a big hit.

Laurie Frankel Promo

Laurie Frankel Promo

Commercial photographer Laurie Frankel chased her vision for years. She wanted to transfer her images onto impossibly thin tissue paper—affordably. SAVVY was thrilled to help Laurie finally make it happen.

We produced poster-sized prints of her Recycled Beauty series, exquisite still lifes fashioned from trash and broken-down fruit. Underprinting her full-color images with white made them pop without obscuring the delicateness of the tissue. These promo pieces won Laurie clients as well as recognition from Communications Arts and Graphis publications. She called on SAVVY for three more tissue promotions.

AutoFlower Grow Kit

SAVVY proudly produced this project from beginning to end. From product and brand development, to structural and graphic design, through manufacturing.

The rigid telescoping design features V-cut edges, foil stamp and spot gloss over PP film lamination. The “multilayer reveal” makes for a satisfying user experience. It really is an over-the-top package.

Jawbone Era VIP Kit

Jawbone Era VIP Kit

Our long-time partner, Stephen Gould Corporation, brought SAVVY to the table to carry out the vision of Yves Behar’s design agency for Jawbone. The “fall-away” package opened like an automated banana peel. Also included was an intricate laser-cut sleeve, single-face corrugate, foil stamp and UV lithography, as well as 100% recycled materials.

Luma Surround WiFi System

Luma Surround WiFi System

Another successful collaboration with long time partner Stephen Gould Corporation. The Luma package features a V-cut rigid box set, molded paper pulp inserts, product sleeves, and welcome collateral finished off with a partial telescoping sleeve to bring it all home.

From design through production, SAVVY executed the project as promised. We produced the package components at our partner factory in Kunshan, China, and coordinated the weekly logistics to Luma’s contract manufacturer.

GE Social Light

GE Social Light

We produced these beautiful GE Social Light prototypes in cooperation with Stephen Gould Corporation for mass production consideration. SAVVY was commissioned to execute the designers’ concepts from 3D model to thermoform, print and CAD cut to retail-ready prototypes.

Lumo Lift

Lumo Lift

This sleek modular packaging says cool and tech, just like Lumo Bodytech’s health/sports wearable devices. The box and multi-piece inserts were conceived by our longtime collaborator Daylight Design. Then SAVVY took on the design for manufacturing and production. From paper and bamboo pulp to polypropylene, we chose construction materials for function and true recyclability.

From day one to delivery, SAVVY saved the client time and money. We produced the package components at our partner factory in Kunshan, China, and transported them directly to Lumo Bodytech's Chinese contract manufacturer.

Milli Mylk Starter Kit

Milli Mylk Starter Kit

SAVVY was asked to design and manufacture an environmentally conscious self shipper for the new Milli Mylk product launch.

The Starter Kit is produced in natural kraft unbleached paperboard and features a sustainable biodegradable molded pulp tray designed to protect the glass bottle during shipment. The additional printed marketing materials were produced on recycled substrate.

ACES Extracts DVP

ACES Extracts DVP

This sophisticated child-resistant package screams super cool, just like the award-winning ACES Extracts and Disposable Vaporizer—High Times first-place champs at the 2018 Cannabis Cup.

SAVVY conceptualized, structurally designed the DFM-ready piece, and prototyped the unique child-resistant enclosure and four-part, dual-sleeve package. The rigid turned-edge tray featured an insert to proudly display the disposable vaporizer in its clear acrylic enclosure. Then it was nicely wrapped in a dual-slide sleeve that pulls away in opposing directions.

Jawbone Jambox

Jawbone Jambox

Another fast and furious project produced in cooperation with our long-time partner, Stephen Gould Corporation. These JAMBOX VIP KITS feature a retro design making the most of single-face corrugate, silk screen and UV lithography, as well as 100% recycled materials. The client was delighted with the high-quality work as well as the on-time and on-budget execution of the project.

Krave Media Kit

Krave Media Kit

Krave wrote the book on healthy gourmet jerky. Our job was to produce a piece to tell their story. How about a box set of storybooks, each laying out the tale of a different flavor? Oh, and a packet of jerky tucked in for immediate gratification.

The challenge was making the story books manufacturable. Done! The kit features UV lithography, spot varnish and a register-to-print emboss. We also created a rigid, turned-edge box with an intricate laser-cut lid and extra components, including a USB key.

Endue Gift Box

Endue Gift Box

Oh, baby! Our clients at endue wanted stylish packaging that matched the quality of their organic infant clothing sets. And, this hinged lid, rolled edge gift box turned out exactly the way they envisioned. Not without some production challenges, however. The large embossed pinwheel required a creative duplex design to achieve the desired deep impression. This carefully handcrafted box was nothing short of fabulous.

AutoFlower Pot

AutoFlower Pot

SAVVY executed the product development, DFM and prototype through mass production of the AutoFlower Self-Watering Pot.

The pot features an internal filling tube with standoffs that self-wick from the water reservoir. The minimal draft angle and brushed metal finish delivered the modern look that the client envisioned.

SAVVY also developed the brand, and designed and manufactured the over-the-top “multilayer reveal” packaging.

Hamama Grow Kit

Hamama Grow Kit

Hamama asked us to help develop and produce their lineup of homegrown healthy microgreens products. The injection-molded, BPA-free, recyclable Hamama Grow Kit was the original. Then we followed with a handsome stoneware version. Development of the ceramic kit kicked our butts for six months, till we tamed the unpredictable clay shrinkage and slumping in the kiln. On the team from start to finish, we also produced the bamboo frame, shelving system, brush, and card holder and nestled all the goodies in compostable packaging.

Fred Flask

Fred Flask

These iconic water flasks, from a SAVVY-led DFM and production project, were sold out in every color on the Fred Water site the moment they were offered.

The complex construction of the Fred Flask was a challenge, and the SAVVY team tackled it eagerly. SAVVY created a fabrication plan that included metal stamping, laser cutting, laser welding, proprietary coating techniques and laser etching of the 18/8 stainless steel.

SAVVY also designed a premium packaging set, lanyards and other swag items to be included with each Fred Flask.

FaceCase Phone Case

FaceCase Phone Case

SAVVY executed DFM through mass production of the FaceCase, Make-up Tins, Tools & Packaging.

The FaceCase Phone Case was injection molded in ABS, electroplated on all visible surfaces and assembled. It features a hinged lid with mirror and a magnetic pallet designed to carry makeup tins for easy access.

SAVVY also designed and manufactured the premium hinged-lid, rigid retail package.

Cesar Feed-the-Friendship DNA Kit

Cesar Feed-the-Friendship DNA Kit

SAVVY and longtime partner Double Six Design were called on to produce a Cesar Feed the Friendship placemat and DNA kit and deliver them to each contest winner.

We were a major player on the project—from DFM and manufacturing the food grade silicone placemat, DFM and manufacturing the packaging and its contents, to kitting and fulfillment.

Ford OpenXC Interface

Ford OpenXC Interface

SAVVY was pleased to drive the design and production of a premium package for Ford Global.

The OpenXC interface deserved a one-of-a-kind presentation. We created a sophisticated leatherette-wrapped, hinged lidded box with a magnetic closure, full-color litho sleeve and a bit of foil bling. Inside, the OpenXC module is nested in frosted acrylic.

SAVVY also steered production of the OpenXC module. Starting from its inner electronics to injection molding, and final assembly.

Blingsting Product Line Up

Blingsting Product Line Up

A combination of practical and supercute is what blingsting asked for. SAVVY made sure they got it. We shepherded the entire product line up from first pencil sketch to 3D design and prototype, all the way to mass production and logistics.

Production processes included electronics fabrication, injection molding, electroplating, metal casting, glitter and rhinestone decoration.

The adorable packaging, also produced by SAVVY, adds a final touch of blingsting's hallmark sparkle.

HEROCart™

During the coronavirus pandemic, SAVVY was asked to ramp up quickly and help TAGCarts respond to the emergency. The company, known for power- and tech-infused medical carts that enhance nurse safety and productivity, wanted to switch gears. Their plan—create a low-cost, single-patient-use disposable storage cart for pop-up hospitals treating a surge of patients.

Built of durable corrugated paper board containing a high level of post-consumer waste (recycled content), the HEROCart is 100% recyclable.

Cisco Exhibit

Cisco Exhibit

This dynamic project had applied graphics throughout. Our contribution ranged from rigid acrylic and printed vinyl to fabric tension graphics, plus hardware and installation. Even with the accelerated production schedule SAVVY delivered on time and on budget.

Navitas Lanyards

Navitas Lanyards

The concept and structural design are pure SAVVY. Navitas management and staff loved these branded, handcrafted lanyards to wear when they exhibit at natural food expos. We built in a functional twist: storage for the ultimate trade show item...business cards. A thumbhole for popping out the cards makes the Navitas folks quick on the draw. The holders are backprinted on clear acrylic, router cut, hand glued and heat polished.

Saddle Ridge Hoard

Saddle Ridge Hoard

Our long-time partner, American Packaging, called on us to create a SAVVY solution for presenting buried treasure. To showcase North America’s largest cache of unearthed 19th century gold coins, we designed and produced a weathered-looking, period-correct box. For true Western personality, we heat branded the Saddle Ridge initials on this memorable leave behind.

The limited-edition, handcrafted wood box featured a false bottom, router-cut cavities and a hinged lid. Also included was a mini-storybook with a chocolate brown cover that incorporated white underprint and process print, spot varnish and register-to-print emboss.

Teeny Cake Van Wrap

Teeny Cake Van Wrap

Teeny Cake was looking for maximum exposure with their small-business budget, so they brought in SAVVY. We updated their logo and translated the new design into an eye-catching vehicle wrap. SAVVY'S art direction and expertise in outdoor graphics, along with an experienced install team made short work of creating a delivery van that also doubles as full-time advertising.
